The main purpose of our studies is to provide a high level training in the fields of Computational Physics and Applied Physics, as well as to supply an appropriate background in the general methodologies of the scientific and technical research.

The group works in the area of synthesis and study of structure and properties of new materials. Applications concern to the development of biodegradable materials for the biomedical field as well as nanocomposites.

CEPIMA carries out research, development and innovation focused on how process systems should be designed and managed over their complete life cycle for an optimum integration of technical, economic and environmental issues.

The MACROM group works in the area of understanding the three-dimensional structure of biomolecules by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques to study the structure of DNA and its interactions with drugs, ions and proteins.

The IMPRINTS project arose from an initiative of the European Union that to improve warning and prevention systems for flash floods and debris-flow events. The research consists is the development of computational models for hydrological purposes.

The European Space Agency launched the SMOS satellite in November 2009. Researchers from the UPC monitor its sensors. The mission, the first to be led by Spain, will enable more precise forecasts regarding climate change.

Computer simulations allow us to perform virtual tests that cannot be performed experimentally, but can we develop computational models and techniques to predict the behaviour of nanomaterials or proteins? It might not be such a harebrained idea.

About 3.4 million tonnes of used tyres are generated in Europe each year. Although the material they are made of is not biodegradable, it has certain properties of interest to the scientific community, which is seeking new ways to recycle it.

The School of Industrial and Aeronautical Engineering of Terrassa is the only school in Catalonia offering the bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering. But not only this... Do you know the ETSEIAT? Discover all we can offer you in this video. Watch it, we are waiting for you!

A search engine for services, laboratories and cutting-edge facilities to aid businesses that carry out research. Discover the new website of Scientific and Technical Services of the UPC in this video.

Eduard, Mónica, Zhang, Iván, Bernat and Adrià are just six of the 32,765 students of the UPC who have shared their projects, dreams and experiences in this video. We invite you to get to know them and to discover, through them, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. The UPC, the university for Engineering, Architecture, Sciences and Technology.
